The Honey Line Photos Part 1

Well the day has finally come and I'm so excited to finally show you guys Part 1 of my spring collection 2012, The Honey Line. I hoped to create very casual, vintage, girly style with seven outfits in total (11 garments). Today I'm posting four of the outfits and tomorrow I'll post Part 2.

I was hoping to sell these pieces in a variety of sizes but turns out I'm no longer able to purchase any more of these fabrics. So, now I'm looking forward to school being done and having time to work on my summer line which I'll be able to sell to you guys in a future Etsy shop.

These amazing photos were taken by my incredibly talented friend Genevieve. You must check out her website Genevieve Renee Photography and her blog! I'm so thankful for her involvement in this project! Such a blessing!

ahh i cannot believe you made these pieces, thaey are all so adorable, and succeeded in the vintage department, these are so wonderful!! you are so increibly talented! i absolutly LOVEE the first top, the fabric is gorgeous!

Teeka was hired to sew three bridesmaid dresses for my sisters wedding this summer from her spring line. Teeka charged my sister 100 dollars for a dress, seemed like a great deal until we saw the dresses. To her credit two of the bridesmaids lived in a different city and were only available for one fitting approx 3 weeks before the wedding. However, someone who claims herself to be a seamstress should be able to take measurements and create something that is wearable, for Teeka this proved difficult. The dresses were absolutely the most terrible sewing work I have ever seen. They were unwearable, with extremely uneven seams, crooked pockets (one of by three inches!) uneven necklines and zippers and worst of all, holes in the fabric of the dress. The dresses were so poorly done we were unable to wear them for the wedding and ended up shopping for dresses two days before the wedding. When contacted after the wedding, Teeka expressed her disappointment in not seeing the dresses in the wedding pictures and stated she had hoped to use the pictures as advertising. We asked for our money back, if not all of it, a portion and she stated she was unable at this time to give us any money back but did offer a piece of clothing from her next line. Teeka, keep your terrible clothes, and take a lesson in being an actual business women. When you state you are able to provide a service to someone you should actually do it. When we took the dresses to an actual seamstress to see if they could be fixed she laughed out loud. I hope you remember this the next time you attempt to sew something and I hope others see this and think twice about hiring you.
